Original HTC Magic available on Canada's Rogers for $25.48/month on 1-year contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCMagic
Check this out. Canada’s Rogers Wireless is offering the original HTC Magic to its customers. This is a limited time offer, since only few of these will be offered to hard-core Android fanboys. I can’t imagine anyone wishing a 3-year old device these days, but what do I know. This could easily be a memorabilia item.
I’m not sure which version of Android this baby runs, but I would assume it doesn’t go beyond 2.1 Éclair.
On a sidenote, we must add that HTC has come a long way from Magic, with their modern smartphones looking way, way better. Just take a look at their new One models – all of them look fantastic, or at least I think so.
Anyway, you can check out Rogers’ HTC Magic offer from her...

Nokia Lumia 610 pours out its insides to the FCC, gets accepted
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 610
The Nokia Lumia 610 hasn't officially found a home in the US, but that doesn't stop it from paying the good 'ol FCC a visit either way. The entry-level Windows Phone sure put on quite the show, too, providing a full set of internal and external pics and a user manual. The device we saw offers 3G connectivity by way of 850 / 1900 radios to allow for AT&T compatibility, which means at the very least you'll be able to import one and get some proper use out of it, even if you don't see the Lumia 610 on a US carrier anytime soon. Take a look below to behold the full visual spread.

HTC Dream gets unlocked bootloader, makes someone's come true
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-MobileG1
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Neither. It's HTC's increasingly creaky-looking Dream and it's just got its bootloader unlocked. Others may remember it fondly as the T-Mobile G1 and the very first Android phone to arrive on the market. For that alone, it deserves some respect and the right to join its successors in the unlocked bootloader pantheon. Retrospective tinkerers from the future can head over to HTC's developer site for all the tools.

LG Optimus Vu launches in Korea, gets priced
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus Vu
LG's 5-inch smartphone has finally arrived -- at least over in Korea. While 4:3 ratio display raised a few eyebrows during its debut at MWC, the IPS display, lightweight frame and stylus has us chasing after a review model to give it the full run-down. Anyone in LG's homeland can beat us to the punch -- it's now on sale priced just under the Galaxy Note, a device that's been around for a few months. Expect to pay 990,000 won ($890) for a carrier-free version, but importers should 'note' that they won't be able to take advantage of that built-in TV tuner. We're still sniffing out details on prices and launch dates for the US. Hopefully, the international model will arrive with a rubberdium st...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAlcatelOT-995
Guess who’s moving to higher realms of the smartphone market? Alcatel! No they’re not out with a quad-core device, not even a dual-core one, but a decent single-core model with a 4.3-inch WVGA screen and Qualcomm’s processor clocking at 1.4GHz. In addition, the newly announced One Touch Ultra 995 also packs a 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth, and many other familiar acronyms like HSDPA, HDMI, Wi-Fi, GPS and DLNA; plus a memory card slot.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
Aside from new phones, HTC also used Mobile World Congress to unveil new APIs, part of its HTC OpenSense SDK. The new set of developer tools includes Beats Audio API, Lockscreen API, Mobile Device Management API and soon a HTC MediaLink HD API — using which developers are able to enhance the audio experience of their apps, integrate access to an app from the HTC lock screen, and/or enable their app to take advantage of dual screen capabilities using Wireless HDMI.

White Galaxy Nexus 16GB coming to Verizon on April 5th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus CDMA
We’ve been seeing photos of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus all decked out in white, but so far no word on a U.S. release date. According to a device launch schedule given to Droid-Life, it appears that the 16GB version of the Galaxy Nexus will be arriving at Verizon on April 5th in both the white and gray variety.
While many of you will be disappointed that there won’t be a white 32GB Galaxy Nexus, it may be good news for those hoping to score a Galaxy Nexus at a more equitable rate – it seems likely that the launch of the versions with less internal memory will be concurrent with a reduction in price. At that point we’d expect the Galaxy Nexus to be $199 on contract, and likely less from other re...

Nokia PureView technology confirmed for Lumia Windows Phone family
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
During Nokia’s press conference at Mobile World Congress 2012, the Finnish smartphone maker introduced the Nokia 808 PureView. The handset is equipped with a jaw-dropping 41 megapixel camera, a 1.3GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM and the dated Symbian Belle operating system. The high resolution 41 megapixel sensor features Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology that allows you to zoom in without any loss of clarity when taking pictures at low resolutions. Nokia’s VP of Marketing, Jo Harlow, confirmed to Finnish newspaper Aamulehti that its PureView technology is heading to the Windows Phone mobile platform as a part of the Lumia series of smartphones. Harlow said that...

Samsung Galaxy S Advance with AT&T 3G is at the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY S Advance
Samsung Galaxy S Advance, you know that Sammy smartphone that sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, has been spotted at the FCC, where the government-employed engineers got to play with it before it’s potentially introduced to the U.S. market. We say “potentially,” since the fact that some device gets FCC’s seal of approval doesn’t necessarily mean it will be introduced by an U.S. carrier.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket: The cheapest Galaxy yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Pocket
Samsung has just announced yet another Galaxy device, the Galaxy Pocket. It’s the exact opposite of the massive 5.3 inch Galaxy Note. With the Pocket you’re looking at a 2.8 inch screen that pushes the now ancient resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, it has a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a single core 800 MHz processor, and of course comes with all the associated radios (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) you’d expect from most modern smartphones. We don’t have an exact price for this thing, but we do know it’s going to come to the UK “later this year”. If we had to take a guess, we’d say it’s going to cost no more than 150 EUR. In fact, we’d go so far as to say it’ll cost j...

The rumor is that Verizon Wireless will be introducing the next Droid Incredible device on April 26th. Dubbed Droid Incredible 4G, it will most certainly come with LTE connectivity support along with all other Ice Cream Sandwich goodies, such as a solid screen (720p?), Wi-Fi, two cameras, Bluetooth, an array of sensors and most likely a ton of built-in storage.

New Nokia Lumia 800 firmware "triples" battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, started shipping almost four months ago. A small percentage of those who were the first to pick it up have had some issues with their battery. Either their device was burning through a full charge way too quickly, or worse yet they couldn’t even recharge their phone and had to replace it. In order to rectify the issue Nokia said they would ship two firmware updates, which they did, but some people still experienced issues. Today we’ve just learned that there’s a third firmware update being rolled out in Singapore, version 12070. The folks at WPCentral flashed it on their Lumia 800 and say that battery life “tripled”, but the good news doesn’t stop ...

Nokia's 808 PureView won't come to North America
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
This doesn't come as a major surprise to us, but Nokia has confirmed that it doesn't plan to bring the 808 PureView to US or any other nearby countries. Buried deep within the device specifications page, there's a note about "global" availabilty — excluding North America. That's just as well, since Nokia stopped selling unlocked devices directly in the US last year, and no US carrier would be wiling to pick up a Symbian phone at this point. That's not even to mention the fact that Nokia confirmed last year that it would not bring any more Symbian phones to the US. Still, this phone's incredibly unique camera design was sure to attract some interest, but those people who want to give it a sho...

China Mobile claims 15 million iPhone subscribers without selling Apple's handset
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
China Mobile may be the world's largest telco with 655 million subscribers, but it's missing one major ingredient that any top tier carrier needs -- the iPhone. Apple's exclusivity deal with China Unicom is about to come to an end and China Telecom is going to start selling the 4S next week. Yet, China Mobile, the state owned behemoth, won't be joining the iOS fray officially until it starts shipping with an LTE radio (which we assume will happen next year). Still, according to the company, it has managed to rack up 15 million subscribers using unlocked iPhones on its 2G network. Perhaps most amazing, is that it was only in October that China Mobile announced it had 10 million subscribers us...
